High-pressure breathing air applications

In compression chambers, patients are exposed to increased atmospheric pressure for treatment purposes. Divers are treated in this way after decompression accidents, for example, to protect them against the effects of the bends. In these situations, minutes count – along with an absolutely reliable supply of clean breathing air partially enriched with oxygen.

Hospitals also use compression chambers for hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO). During HBO treatment, patients breathe in medically clean oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. This is the best possible way to provide the body's cells with oxygen to accelerate regeneration.

BAUER KOMPRESSOREN can supply the breathing air necessary for applications such as these.
